U.S. National Debt Explodes – Another $6 Billion Added Every Single Day

The United States is spiraling into a debt crisis that even seasoned economists find alarming. The national debt is increasing by $6 billion every day — more than the annual GDP of 30 smaller nations. While politicians debate budget limits, global investors are already seeking safety in Bitcoin, gold, and other tangible assets.

$37.9 Trillion and Climbing – The U.S. Adds $69,890 Every Second According to data from the Joint Economic Committee of Congress (JEC), the U.S. national debt has surpassed $37.9 trillion and continues to rise by nearly $70,000 per second, equivalent to more than $4 million per minute. If the trend continues, the United States will cross the $38 trillion mark within weeks. Congressman Keith Self warned that the nation is approaching a breaking point: “Congress must act now — before a slow descent turns into a sudden collapse.”

Bitcoin and Gold as the New Safe Havens Amid record debt and a weakening dollar, investors are shifting strategies. According to JPMorgan, both Bitcoin (BTC) and gold are becoming “trades against a depreciating system.” Market data underscores the shift:

🔹 Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $125,506,

🔹 Gold climbed to $3,920 per ounce, surpassing all previous records. As the dollar continues to lose value, demand for scarce, non-inflationary assets is accelerating. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, once a Bitcoin skeptic, now predicts that BTC could rise as high as $700,000.

Ray Dalio: Western Economies Trapped in Debt Spirals Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, warns that the crisis extends beyond the United States.

“The United Kingdom and other Western nations are heading into the same debt spiral,” Dalio said.

He advises investors to allocate at least 15% of their portfolios to tangible assets such as Bitcoin, gold, or silver. According to Dalio, these assets currently offer the best risk-to-reward ratio, as governments continue to accumulate debt at an unprecedented pace.

Global Debt Reaches a Record $337 Trillion Data from the Institute of International Finance (IIF) shows that total global debt has reached a historic $337.7 trillion. The surge is driven by quantitative easing, a weakening dollar, and expansive fiscal policies across Western economies.

Trump and Musk: A Bid for Fiscal Reform Former President Donald Trump has sought to reverse the debt trajectory. In July, he signed the “Big Beautiful Bill Act,” designed to save up to $1.6 trillion in federal spending over the next decade. Elon Musk briefly assisted through the Department of Government Efficiency, where his team reportedly cut $214 billion in wasteful spending before he left after 130 days, as relations between the two soured. Ironically, the implementation of the act itself required significant upfront costs, pushing total U.S. debt beyond $37 trillion.

Investors Reposition: The End of Faith in the Dollar As U.S. debt approaches $38 trillion, the structure of global capital markets is transforming.

Institutions and individuals are shifting funds out of government bonds and into assets that are immune to monetary policy — primarily Bitcoin and gold. Economists warn that unless the debt trajectory is curbed, the world may soon enter a new financial paradigm — one in which the dollar is no longer the cornerstone of global confidence, but merely one currency among many.
